THE    MANUSCRIPTS    IN   THE   LIBRARY   AT 
LAMBETH  PALACE. 


IN  Wood's  Athenae  Oxonienses  (ii.  519)  there  is  a  short 
biography  of  John  Theyer.  He  was  born  apparently  in  1597 
and  his  career — not  an  eventful  one — does  not  now  concern  me 
particularly.  It  is  the  conclusion  of  Wood's  article  which 
supplies  me  with  a  text :  "  His  death  hapned  at  Cowper's-hill 
[near  Gloucester]  on  the  25th  of  Aug.  in  sixteen  hundred 
seventy  and  three,  and  two  days  after  <he>  was  buried  among 
his  Ancestors  in  the  Church -yard  at  Brockworth,  particularly 
near  to  the  grave  of  his  grandfather  —  Theyer,  who  had  married 
the  sister  of  one  Hart  the  last  Prior  of  Langthony  near 
Glocester.  He  then  left  behind  him  a  Library  of  ancient 
Manuscripts  consisting  of  the  number  of  about  800,  which  he 
himself  had  for  the  most  part  collected.  The  Foundation  of  it 
was  laid  by  his  grandfather,  who  had  them  from  Prior  Hart, 
and  he  from  the  Library  of  Langthony  when  it  was  dissolved, 
besides  Household  stuff  belonging  to  that  Priory.  Afterwards 
Charles  Theyer  (grandson  to  our  author  John  Theyer,  who  in 
his  last  will  had  bequeathed  them  to  him)  did  offer  to  sell  them 
to  the  University  of  Oxon,  but  the  price  being  too  great,  they 
were  sold  to  Robert  Scot,  of  London,  bookseller,  who  soon  after 
sold  them  to  his  Majesty,  King  Ch.  II.,  to  be  reposed  in  his 
Library  at  S.  James's,  he  having  first,  as  I  have  been  informed, 
cull'd  them." 

Following  up  the  data  of  this  paragraph,  we  are  led  in  the 
first  place  to  ask  whether  any  record  exists  of  the  contents  of 

C.  A.  S.  Octavo  Series.  1 


2  THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS. 

the  Theyer  Collection  before  its  absorption  into  the  Royal 
Library.  We  find  that  in  Bernard's  Gatalogi  Manmcriptornm 
Angliae  (1697),  ii.  pp.  198—203,  is  a  list  of  312  MSS.  belonging 
to  Charles  Theyer,  of  Gloucestershire  :  and  a  comparison  of 
this  list  with  Casley's  Catalogue  of  the  Royal  MSS.  shews  that 
with  very  few  exceptions  the  books  enumerated  now  form  part 
of  the  Royal  Library.  In  other  words,  the  collection  of  Charles 
Theyer,  described  by  Bernard,  is  that  which  Charles  II. 
bought.  It  is  clear  that  when  Bernard's  Catalogue  was  issued 
the  Theyer  MSS.  must  have  been  for  some  years  at  St  James's: 
but  I  do  not  find  any  note  of  the  fact  either  in  Preface  or 
Appendix.  It  will  be  further  noticed  that  the  number  of 
books  (312)  differs  widely  from  that  specified  by  Wood  (about 
800).  An  explanation  of  this  fact  is  not  immediately  forth- 
coming. 

We  should  expect  at  this  stage  of  our  investigation  to  find 
that  the  Theyer  MSS.  in  the  Royal  Library  were  traceable  in 
large  part  to  Lanthony  Priory.  That,  however,  is  not  the  case. 
Of  a  large  number  which  I  have  myself  examined,  not  more 
than  two  or  three  are  Lanthony  books.  Worcester  and 
Gloucester  have  contributed  largely  to  the  collection  :  and  this 
is  not  surprising  when  we  know  that  the  ancestral  abode  of 
the  Theyers  was  in  the  immediate  neighbourhood  of  Gloucester. 
But  as  to  Lanthony — clearly  there  is  something  more  than 
meets  the  eye  in  the  history  as  given  by  Wood.  We  can 
hardly  doubt  that  he  is  correct  in  his  account  of  the  connexion 
between  the  old  Theyer  and  Prior  Hart,  and  the  presence  of 
many  books  from  Lanthony  on  Theyer's  shelves.  We  also  see 
that  these  books  must  have  been  diverted  to  some  other 
quarter  before  the  purchase  of  the  collection  by  Charles  II. 
Can  we  at  this  time  of  day  ascertain  either  when  the  diversion 
took  place,  or  where  the  Lanthony  books  are  now  ?  I  believe 
we  can. 

It  would  clearly  be  a  very  great  help  if  we  could  arm  our- 
selves with  a  document  showing  what  books  were  in  the 
Library  whose  relics  we  are  pursuing.  Such  a  document  is 
very  fortunately  accessible.  The  Harleian  MS.  4CO  contains  a 


THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS.  3 

catalogue  of  the  Lanthony  Library  made  in  1380,  which  has 
been  printed  by  M.  H.  Omont  of  the  Bibliotheque  Nationale1. 
It  enumerates  some  500  volumes,  and  at  a  later  stage  a  word 
will  be  said  as  to  its  arrangement  and  contents. 

With  this  catalogue  before  us  we  are  in  a  better  position  to 
prosecute  our  researches.  Yet  I  doubt  if  anything  but  an 
accident  could  conduct  us  to  a  successful  issue.  And  such  an 
accident  has  befallen  me.  In  January,  1899,  I  was  permitted 
by  the  kindness  of  His  Grace  the  Archbishop  of  Canterbury, 
seconded  by  the  prompt  assistance  of  Mr  Kershaw,  the 
Librarian  of  Lambeth  Palace,  to  make  a  systematic  examina- 
tion of  the  MSS.  in  the  Archiepiscopal  Library.  It  was  my 
hope  that  among  them  there  would  prove  to  be  a  large  con- 
tingent from  Canterbury:  but  the  Canterbury  books,  though 
interesting,  are  not  numerous.  To  some  extent,  however,  I  was 
compensated  for  this  disappointment  by  the  discovery  that  a 
very  large  number  of  the  Lambeth  MSS.  are  from  Lanthony 
Priory. 

I  have  mentioned  the  name  of  this  establishment  a  good 
many  times  without  any  explanatory  note.  So  I  will  just 
remark  here  that  there  are  three  Lanthonies  known  to  fame. 
The  first  '  Lanthonia  prima '  was  an  Augustinian  Priory  in 
Wales,  founded  in  1108;  the  second,  '  Lanthonia  secunda,'  a 
daughter  of  the  first,  and  by  far  the  more  important,  founded  in 
1136  in  the  outskirts  of  Gloucester  ;  the  third,  Lanthony  of  the 
present  day,  an  establishment  presided  over  by  the  Rev.  Mr 
Lyne,  purports  to  have  some  connexion  with  the  order  of 
St  Benedict.  Throughout  this  paper  when  reference  is  made 
simply  to  Lanthony,  the  second  Lanthony — that  at  Gloucester — 
is  intended.  It  is  of  this  house  that  we  possess  the  Library 
catalogue  ;  and  perhaps  it  will  be  well  to  place  here  the  few 
words  which  have  to  be  said  about  that. 

The  books  are  entered  in  order  as  they  stood  on  the  shelves. 
There  were  five  cupboards  (armarii),  containing  respectively 
five,  four,  five,  six,  and  one,  shelves.  It  is  natural  to  suppose 

1  In  Centralblattfiir  Bibliotheks-Wissenschaft,  1892,  207—222. 

1—2 


THE  LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS. 


that  the  fifth  press,  to  which  the  one  shelf  belongs,  was 
intended  to  provide  for  further  acquisitions1. 

The  other  characteristic  of  the  catalogue  is  that  it  is 
digested  into  subjects. 

The  first  bookcase  contained  mainly  Bibles,  and  glosses  and 
commentaries  upon  various  books  of  the  Bible.  In  the  second 
were  the  writings  of  Clement  of  Lanthony,  the  most  prominent 
scholar  the  house  produced,  and  those  of  Jerome,  Ambrose, 
Gregory,  Bede,  Isidore,  and  others.  The  third  began  with 
Augustine,  and  contained  also  Hugo  of  St  Victor,  and  minor 
theologians,  while  on  its  fifth  shelf  were  the  books  on  physic. 
The  fourth  was  the  most  varied  in  contents,  comprising  Canon 
Law,  Miscellaneous  Divinity,  History,  Grammar,  Poetry, 
Philosophy,  and  Custumaries2.  The  fifth  had  dictionaries  and 
a  few  service-books,  together  with  some  miscellaneous  volumes 
of  the  theological  class. 

Whether  considered  in  the  light  of  its  catalogue,  or  in  that 
of  the  extant  volumes,  this  collection  as  a  whole  does  not  rise 
above  mediocrity.  The  house  produced,  as  I  have  said,  but 
one  writer  who  attained  anything  like  celebrity,  in  its  Prior 
Clement.  His  Harmony  of  the  Gospels  is  a  sufficiently 
common  book.  Nine  or  ten  volumes  are  specially  connected 
with  his  name  in  the  catalogue.  One  among  these  I  have 
identified,  and  believe  to  be  in  his  autograph.  It  is  a  com- 
mentary on  the  Acts,  and  is  among  the  few  Lanthony  books 

1  The  number  of  volumes  in  the  several  shelves  varies  very  curiously.  The 
annexed  table  in  which  Roman  numerals  are  used  to  designate  the  cupboards, 
and  Arabic  for  the  shelves,  will  shew  this :

and  an  old  one  of  Lanthony  itself.

in  the  British  Museum  (Royal  2.D.V).  Otherwise,  the 
catalogue  contains  very  few  entries  that  excite  curiosity.  The 
MSS.  themselves  are  for  the  most  part  good  normal  twelfth 
century  books.  There  is  seldom  anything  earlier.  A  Psalter 
with  English  glosses  (no.  427)  is  almost  the  only  one  I  can 
point  to  which  is  older  than  the  monastery  itself. 

As  I  have  said,  the  number  of  Lambeth  MSS.  which  I 
assign  to  Lanthony  is  very  large — well  over  a  hundred.  The 
question  will  inevitably  occur  to  my  readers — on  what  grounds 
is  each  individual  book  identified  ?  In  a  large  number  of  cases 
we  have  the  definite  inscription,  liber  Lanthonie  or  the  like  to 
guide  us.  Where  this  is  absent  I  have  very  often  been  led  to 
the  mark  by  the  occurrence  of  a  certain  handwriting  on  the 
fly-leaves.  It  is  a  hand  of  the  xvth  century,  which  has  furnished 
a  great  many  of  the  books  with  tables  of  contents.  Sometimes 
I  have  found  it  coupled  with  a  Lanthony  inscription,  sometimes 
alone.  In  either  case  the  provenance  is  certain.  Then  there 
is  the  name  of  a  certain  Canon  Morgan,  of  Carmarthen,  who 
may  possibly  be  the  writer  of  the  tables  of  contents  aforesaid  : 
this,  again,  may  occur  either  in  conjunction  with  the  other 
indications,  or  apart  from  them.  Lastly,  there  are  cases  in 
which  the  contents  of  a  volume,  and  its  presence  side  by  side 
with  a  number  of  books  which  are  certainly  from  Lanthony, 
enable  me  with  fair  certainty  to  identify  it  with  some  entry  in 
the  catalogue.  Doubtful  items  of  course  there  are  in  my  list : 
but  I  think  it  will  be  found  that  the  evidence  is  fairly  given  in 
most  instances. 

I  will  now  treat  shortly  of  the  Lambeth  MSS.  as  a 
collection,  and  try  to  bring  out  the  chief  points  of  interest 
in  their  history.  The  manuscript  library  at  Lambeth  consists 
of  somewhat  over  1200  volumes,  which  are  divided  into 
several  distinct  collections.  First,  there  are  the  Codices 
Lambethani,  numbering  nearly  600,  collected  mostly  by  Arch- 
bishop Bancroft  (d.  1610).  Then  come  Wharton's  papers, 
the  collections  of  Sir  George  Carew  (chiefly  Irish),  of  Arch- 
bishop Tenison,  of  Bishop  Gibson  :  next  the  Miscellanei,  and 
last  the  MSS.  of  Archbishop  Manners-Button.  It  is  only 


6  THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS. 

with  the  first  block,  the  Codices  Lambethani,  that  I  am  con- 
cerned now.  The  later  collections  are  for  the  most  part 
papers,  of  great  interest,  but  of  rather  recent  date. 

It  is  well  known  that  during  the  Protectorate  the  Lambeth 
books  were  made  over  to  the  University  of  Cambridge,  and 
remained  there  until  the  Restoration.  In  Mr  Bradshaw's 
Collected  Papers  a  detailed  account  of  the  transaction  may  be 
readily  found.  Among  the  MSS.  in  the  University  Library 
there  still  remain  several  catalogues  of  the  printed  books  and 
MSS.  received  by  the  University  from  Lambeth :  and  a  very 
slight  inspection  of  these  serves  to  show  that  the  Lanthony 
books  already  formed  part  of  the  Archbishop's  Library.  Of  the 
book-buying  archbishops  before  the  Civil  War  we  know  that  it 
was  Bancroft  who  was  the  principal  contributor  to  the  Lambeth 
Library.  His  successor,  Abbot,  though  he  did  add  to  the 
collection,  did  not,  so  far  as  I  can  discover,  achieve  much  in  the 
way  of  acquiring  MSS.  We  must  suppose  provisionally,  I 
think,  assuming  that  Wood's  story  of  Prior  Hart  of  Lanthony 
is  true,  that  Archbishop  Bancroft  bought  from  the  elder  Theyer 
a  large  number  of  MSS.  including  the  greater  part  of  the  books 
which  had  belonged  to  Prior  Hart ;  and  we  must  suppose  that 
Wood  was  mistaken  in  thinking  that  the  Theyer  MSS.  passed 
intact  into  the  possession  of  John  and  of  Charles  Theyer. 

That  is  the  last,  I  think,  which  need  be  said  about  Lan- 
thony for  some  time.  The  most  interesting  of  the  Lambeth 
MSS.  come  from  other  sources,  at  which  we  will  glance  briefly. 

Canterbury  naturally  claims  the  first  place  in  our  list :  its 
contribution  is  interesting  if  not  large.  The  Gospel- book  of 
MacDuruan,  that  famous  specimen  of  Irish  art,  was  given  to 
Christ  Church  by  King  ^Ethelstan.  How  it  came  to  Lambeth 
is  not  known  :  but  it  has  a  binding  on  it,  and  red  chalk  marks 
therein,  which  shew  beyond  question  that  it  was  "once  the 
property  of  Archbishop  Parker.  Sixteen  other  Lambeth  MSS. 
are  from  Christ  Church.  Taking  them  roughly  in  order  as 
they  stand  on  the  shelves,  we  note  a  late  but  very  important 
obituary,  of  which  Wharton  made  large  use  in  his  Anglia 
Sacra:  an  early  copy  of  Anselm's  Letters;  a  volume  of  Richard, 


THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS.  .  7 

Abbot  of  Preaux,  upon  Genesis,  whereof  the  second  volume  is 
at  Trinity  College,  Cambridge ;  the  Canterbury  Letters,  edited 
in  the  Kolls  Series  by  the  Bishop  of  Oxford ;  and  a  fine  Psalter 
which  belonged  to  John  Holyngborne.  He  was  a  monk  of  the 
Priory  late  in  the  xvth  century,  and  seems  to  have  been  active 
either  in  collecting  old  books,  or  at  least  in  writing  his  name  in 
books  which  already  belonged  to  his  monastery.  I  have 
met  his  name  rather  frequently.  The  well-known  pictured 
Apocalypse  of  the  xinth  century  (no.  209)  is  regarded  by  the 
authorities  of  the  Palaeographical  Society  as  being  a  production 
of  Canterbury  artists.  It  contains  the  arms  and  effigy  of  a 
Lady  de  Quincey. 

From  St  Augustine's  Abbey  we  have  eleven  volumes.  The 
oldest — of  the  eighth  or  ninth  century — contains  our  only  copy 
of  a  short  tract  by  Victoriuus,  De  fabrica  mundi.  In  another 
are  some  palimpsest  leaves  of  an  early  Kalendar.  A  third  is  a 
chronicle  which  is  attributed  in  the  Abbey  Catalogue  to  Sprot 
or  Sport. 

Bury  St  Edmund's  has  six  volumes  to  its  credit.  Five  of 
them  were  unknown  to  me  when  I  wrote  my  Essay  on  its 
Library :  which  Essay  begins,  I  am  glad  to  say,  to  need  a 
supplement.  The  additions  here  are  of  considerable  interest. 
A  copy  of  the  Arithmetic  and  Music  of  Boethius  was  once  the 
property  of  Dr  John  Dee.  I  dare  not  now  embark  upon  a 
disquisition  I  should  much  enjoy  concerning  that  unlucky 
scholar's  MSS.,  the  sources  whence  he  obtained  them,  and  their 
present  resting  places.  Many  years  ago  Mr  J.  O.  Halliwell 
printed  the  list  of  his  MSS.  for  the  Camden  Society ;  and  of  late 
it  has  become  possible  for  me  to  detect  and  locate  a  very  fair 
number  of  his  most  interesting  possessions  in  this  department. 
He  drew  largely,  I  may  say,  from  St  Augustine's,  Canterbury, 
through  the  medium,  I  suspect,  of  John  Twine;  and  a  great 
many  of  his  books  are,  with  Brian  Twyne's  library,  now  at 
Corpus  Christi  College,  Oxford. 

There  is  further  an  early  MS.  of  Alcuin's  Letters  from  Bury, 
at  Lambeth,  as  early,  perhaps,  as  any  that  exists.  It  is  bound 
up  with  the  Collations  of  Cassianus,  and  has  been  so  bound  since 


8  THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS. 

the  early  part  of  the  fifteenth  century  at  least.  There  is  a  title- 
page  in  the  volume  describing  both  books,  and  this  description 
is  couched  in  words  which  recur  in  the  Catalog  us  scriptorum 
of  John  Boston,  of  Bury.  Moreover,  it  is  in  the  handwriting 
which  I  have  always  suspected  to  be  the  autograph  of  that 
remarkable  bibliographer.  Lastly,  I  will  mention  a  Bible, 
rather  a  good  one,  of  the  ordinary  thirteenth  century  type,  but 
made  interesting  by  a  long  note  in  sixteenth  century  English. 
In  this  the  pedigree  of  the  book  is  traced  from  the  year  1384  to 
a  date  very  near  that  of  its  absorption  into  the  Lambeth 
Library. 

Durham  Priory  sends  a  small  but  very  noteworthy  set  of 
books.  This  foundation  has  certainly  preserved  more  of  its 
original  library  in  situ  than  any  other  in  the  country :  but  still 
the  number  of  Durham  MSS.  which  I  have  encountered  in 
various  English  libraries  is  growing  to  a  remarkable  figure. 
The  items  at  Lambeth  include  first  a  sumptuous  copy  of  the 
Historia  Aurea  of  John  of  Tyuemouth,  and  second  a  tenth 
century  copy  of  Ennodius  in  Carolingian  minuscules,  which 
once  belonged  to  John  Foxe,  the  inartyrologist. 

If  adequate  materials  for  the  investigation  could  be  found, 
the  question  of  the  history  and  contents  of  the  Library  of  Ely 
Priory  would  be  a  very  appropriate  and  interesting  subject  for 
some  members  of  this  society  to  take  up.  As  yet,  I  have  hit 
upon  no  trace  of  a  catalogue,  nor  seen  any  document  which 
gives  the  least  idea  of  the  importance  or  extent  of  the  collec- 
tion. Two  clues  there  are  to  the  identification  of  Ely  books, 
which  I  believe  to  be  unfailing.  One  is  the  presence  in  the 
margin  of  this  sign  II ;  the  other,  the  occurrence  of  the  name 
of  Robert  Stewarde,  which  is  usually  accompanied  by  a  sketch 
of  the  Stuart  arms.  This  Robert  was  the  last  Prior  of  Ely,  and 
was  fond  of  writing  his  name  in  books.  So  was  Augustine 
Styward,  a  relation  of  Robert's,  who  was  Mayor  of  Norwich.  I 
have  set  down  seven  Lambeth  books  as  possibly  from  Ely  :  but 
in  the  case  of  some  I  waver  between  Ely  and  Norwich. 

One  of  the  better  known  Lambeth  MSS.  is  a  volume  which 
contains  three  distinct  parts.  First  a  late  XV th  century. paper 


THE  LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS.  9 

copy  of  Roger  Bacon's  Opus  Tertium — very  likely  from  Oxford 
— used  by  Mr  J.  S.  Brewer.  Next,  a  tenth  century  Aldhelm 
with  one  fine  Saxon  drawing,  reproduced  as  the  frontispiece  to 
Todd's  Catalogue ;  and  last,  a  MS.  from  Lanthony.  It  is  satis- 
factory to  me  to  be  able  to  point  out  the  provenance  of  the 
Aldhelm.  On  its  fly-leaf  is  the  inscription  "  cxxx.  al.  ca." 
Marks  like  this,  consisting  of  a  Roman  number,  followed  by 
the  abbrevations  "al.  ca."  or  "al.  p.," always  mean  that  the  book 
containing  them  was  once  the  property  of  the  Abbey  of  the 
Holy  Cross  at  Waltham.  Another  book  in  this  same  collection 
gives  proof  of  this  assertion  (though  the  fact  is  known  and  has 
been  noted  by  Macray  in  his  Annals  of  the  Bodleian).  It  is 
marked  "  cxli.  al.  ca.,'  and  has,  besides,  a  distich  beginning 

Crux  sibi  sancta  librum  de  Waltham  vendicat  istum. 

The  meaning  of  the  letters  "  al.  ca."  and  "  al.  p.,"  as  yet  im- 
interpreted,  I  take  to  be  "  almariolum  canonicorum "  and 
"  almariolum  prioris." 

There  is  another  highly  interesting  composite  volume 
(no.  149),  of  which  the  second  part  comes,  I  believe,  from 
Lanthony,  but  the  first,  a  tenth  century  Bede  on  the  Apoca- 
lypse, certainly  does  not.  It  has  at  the  end  an  inscription  in 
fine  large  capitals  (printed  by  Todd)  to  the  effect  that  in  the 
year  1018  it  was  given  by  the  Alderman  ^Ethelward  to  a  Church 
of  St  Mary,  at  a  place  whose  name  has  been  entirely  obliterated, 
partly  at  least  by  the  use  of  galls.  On  the  same  page  and  not 
noted  by  Todd  is  another  short  inscription  in  green  capitals, 
"  In  nomine  Domini.  Amen.  Leofricus  pater." 

Now  in  1018  the  see  of  Devon  was  still  at  Crediton,  and 
Leofric,  a  great  book-man,  as  we  know,  was  its  bishop :  and  its 
church  was  dedicated  to  St  Mary :  and  an  Expositio  Bede 
super  Apocalypsim  is  in  the  list  of  the  Latin  books  which 
Leofric  procured  for  Exeter.  Crediton  therefore  must  be  the 
name  that  stood  in  the  erasure.  Leofric  may  have  scratched  it 
out  when  he  transferred  the  book  to  Exeter,  and  a  later  attempt 
to  revive  it  has  completed  its  deletion. 

For  Exeter  MSS.  in  bulk  we  have  to  go  to  the  Bodleian, 
where,  owing  to  the  surprising  liberality  of  an  early  Chapter, 


10  THK    LAM  WITH    .MANl's«   Kll'TS. 

there  are  over  eighty.  In  them  we  very  soon  learn  to  recog- 
nise a  hand  that  writes  descriptive  titles  and  the  like.  It  is 
that  of  John  Grandison,  Bishop  of  Exeter  (1327—1369),  and 
no  mean  scholar,  but  less  known  uow-a-days  for  that  than  for 
the  screen  crowded  with  imagery  wherewith  he  masked  the 
western  front  of  his  Cathedral  Church.  There  are  traces 
of  his  literary  activity  at  Lambeth.  In  a  twelfth  century 
Augustine  he  writes  that  he  gives  it  to  his  Church  of  Exeter, 
because  he  had  taken  great  pains  with  the  correction  of  it  at 
Paris:  and  elsewhere  in  the  book  is  a  note  written  by  him 
when  studying  at  that  famous  university  (in  1314). 

Such  are  some  of  the  more  immediately  interesting  results 
of  my  examination  of  the  external  history  of  the  Lambeth  MSS. 
Naturally  many  riddles  remain  unsolved.  I  shall  hope  to  learn 
in  the  future  what  library  was  the  home  of  no.  52,  marked  "  de 
sexto  ordine  xlii111."  I  suspect  it  of  having  come  from  one  of 
the  great  London  houses.  I  should  be  glad  also  to  throw  some 
light  on  the  great  Bible  (no.  3,  4)  of  which  a  description  and 
some  illustrations  will  be  found  in  Mr  Kershaw's  interesting 
volume  on  the  Art  Treasures  of  the  Lambeth  Library.  That 
the  two  volumes  (which  were  not  originally  connected)  are  of 
English  and  not  German  execution  I  am  well  convinced.  The 
beautiful  Psalter  (no.  233)  I  believe  to  be  East  Anglian ;  but  a 
study  of  its  heraldry  is  needed  before  a  verdict  can  be  pro- 
nounced. It  intimately  resembles  in  certain  particulars  a  MS. 
acquired  not  long  ago  by  the  Fitzwilliam  Museum  from  the 
late  Mr  William  Morris. 

It  seems  not  inappropriate,  in  conclusion,  to  reckon  up 
shortly  the  services  which  the  occupants  of  the  see  of  Canter- 
bury have  rendered  to  the  world  in  the  preservation  of  ancient 
literature.  Whether  we  have  any  books  which  St  Augustine 
may  confidently  be  said  to  have  handled  is  doubtful.  Theodore 
of  Tarsus  has  been  persistently  credited  with  the  importation 
of  several  extant  MSS.,  but  one  only — the  Laudian  MS.  of 
the  Acts — can  be  now  said  even  to  have  been  possibly  his,  or 
connected  with  him.  From  Plegmund  (891)  we  have  the 
blackened  fragments  of  a  copy  of  Gregory's  Pastoral  Care 
(Cotton,  Tiberius  B.  xi.).  Duustan,  as  archbishop,  owned  no 


THE   LAMBETH   MANUSCRIPTS.  11 

single  book   that   we   have   now.     The  one  that  has  the  best 

o 

claim  to  have  been  his  dates  from  the  time  when  he  was  Abbot 
of  Glastonbury.  In  the  Christ  Church  Catalogue  Lanfranc  is 
credited  with  a  Homiliary,  a  Priscian,  and  three  copies  of 
Paul's  Epistles.  These  I  have  never  seen :  but  at  Trinity 
College,  Cambridge,  there  is  a  Corpus  Canonum  which  he 
brought  to  England  from  Bee,  and  many  relics  exist,  both 
there  and  elsewhere,  of  the  school  of  calligraphy  which  I 
believe  him  to  have  introduced.  To  Anselm,  perhaps  the 
greatest  writer  of  them  all,  I  can  unfortunately  assign  not 
one  book  ;  but  St  Thomas  a  Becket  collected  a  large  and 
valuable  library  in  whose  composition  I  seem  to  trace  the 
influence  of  his  friend,  John  of  Salisbury.  At  present  I  have 
marked  about  half-a-dozen  extant  books  as  having  been  his 
property.  Stephen  Langton  gave  six  volumes  to  Christ 
Church :  one  remains.  Robert  Winchelsey  about  45  :  I  have 
identified  two.  Of  the  libraries  of  Mepham,  Whittlesea, 
Courtenay,  Chicheley,  there  are  in  like  mariner,  inconsider- 
able remnants.  Warham's  books  are  at  New  College ; 
Cranmer's  in  many  places  ;  Pole's  at  New  College  ;  Parker's 
at  Corpus  Christi,  Cambridge;  Whitgift's  (with  over  200 
MSS.)  at  Trinity,  Cambridge  ;  Bancroft's  at  Lambeth;  Laud's — 
most  numerous  of  all — in  the  Bodleian,  and  at  St  John's, 
Oxford.  A  few  waifs  have  made  their  way  to  other  places. 
Juxon  and  Sheldon  were  no  great  collectors :  the  latter  is 
responsible  for  a  few  MSS.  at  Lambeth.  Sancroft's  mostly  went 
to  Emmanuel  College  :  others  are  among  the  Tanner  MSS.  at 
the  Bodleian.  Tenison  had  a  large  library :  part  of  his  MSS. 
are  at  Lambeth,  and  others  which  were  in  the  Parish  Library 
of  St  Martin's  in  the  Fields  were  dispersed  in  1861.  The  best 
of  these  are  in  the  British  Museum.  Wake's  are  at  Christ 
Church,  Oxford.  Seeker's — mostly  autograph  Biblical  collec- 
tions— at  Lambeth.  There  also  are  the  Greek  MSS.  procured 
for  Manners-Sutton. 

The  list  is  an  impressive  one.  In  this  regard,  as  in  many 
others,  I  would  say  with  all  due  respect  that  the  see  of  Augus- 
tine has  a  lasting  claim  on  the  gratitude  of  England.
